June has been exactly like a summer storm. A bit scary, very unpredictable, fast-moving, and at times refreshing and beautiful. It has been an exhausting but inspiring month... Norah and I spent the first half of the month consumed by TNNA! If you weren't following our updates on Twitter you can see a wonderful recap… Continue reading Whirlwind June…

Rhinebeck Road Trip!!
So, as many of you in the Northeast know, Rhinebeck was this past weekend! We're still recovering from the rush of spring photography and I almost bailed for some much needed rest, but when I woke to a gorgeous fall Saturday, I grabbed my keys and my knitwear and I hit the road! I didn't… Continue reading Rhinebeck Road Trip!!
Sock Summit INDEED.
"Just as the bird’s wing evolved to fly, the human hand evolved to manipulate. An idle hand is not a happy hand. We really need to use our hands; they’re not happy if they’re not doing something." [Barbara G. Walker] The quote above captures my impression of Sock Summit 2009 pretty accurately! I'm very familiar… Continue reading Sock Summit INDEED.

It was breezy and sunny the whole time we were there and we enjoyed some distinctly California moments. Here are… Continue reading Berroco Design Team at Large, part deux
Berroco Behind the Scenes
Working in the world of knitwear design means that your calendar is more than a little screwy. Deadlines and lead times require you to be mentally "out of season" pretty much all the time. I've modeled heavy alpaca sweaters in July, knit angora in August and sketched summery tanks in September. Perhaps the craziest part… Continue reading Berroco Behind the Scenes
Staycation, all I ever wanted…
This week's KnitBits, due out on Friday, is the second in a series of themed entries called the Recession Collection. Last week's issue was a collection of 50 projects you can knit for under 50 dollars--a LOT less than 50 dollars in most cases. Not a subscriber? KnitBits is a weekly newsletter that brings… Continue reading Staycation, all I ever wanted…
Design Team at Large
Phew! I can't believe I'm closing in on one month at Berroco. Yesterday Margery, Norah and I took a trip to Boston so I could learn how to plan photo shoots. We saw many models and a lot of inspiring clothing. As you might imagine a lot of thought goes into styling the pattern books… Continue reading Design Team at Large
florentine memory
What started out as an attempt to remember a sweater in a store window ended up a multilayered photo collage of the photgrapher (me), cars driving by, ghostly tourists and, underneath it all, the afore mentioned sweater. I'm liking it as "ahht". All I did was point and click.
and…..oh, oh, oh
How could I not mention this FIRST?!!!!! I am honored to be seen knitting on the Yarn Harlot's sock. 🙂
